interview

I have seen several applicants making posts to the effect of "send an application update in order to bring your name up to the top of the pile," so you'll be more likely to get an interview. Is this commonly done? I know, I know, don't send an update unless you have something meaningful to...

I interviewed at a school that highly values basic science research (think WashU/JHU). I had very strong basic science research experiences from undergrad, which I discussed in the interview. When the interviewer asked if I would be interested in doing similar research in medical school, I...

I just completed my first interview today -- a traditional interview with a medical student + MMI. I think I prepared well, felt relaxed going in, smiled, and generally did my best. But I feel like I could have done much better, even though I cannot pinpoint exactly what I would have done...

I have a cat, who I love more than anything, but I'm worried that she might mess up my virtual interview. I have been taking virtual classes and she has, for the most part, left me alone besides meowing randomly or asking to be pet. She mostly sleeps. However, if I leave her in the living room...

I know it is still early in the cycle, but I saw that a lot of Texas schools have started giving out II in late July - August and many spots through October/November are filled already. I'm a Texas resident, I completed Texas secondaries in mid-June and the radio silence is really killing me...

Hey guys Just completed secondaries 10 days ago. Been blessed to already receive my first II from a SUNY :) (Am I allowed to say the name of the school or does that go against some type of privacy policy?) Anywho, I can't believe that the earliest date available already is December 1... Jw in...

I suffered from depression and anxiety during medical school. It has now been addressed and managed with medication. I want to be honest if asked about my course failure during medical school and say it was due to the untreated depression. any reason i should not be so transparent? Will the...

Hey guys, interview season's about to come and I guess many of you who're not CODA graduates must be thinking of the same question that I had when I was applying - Does graduating from a foreign dental school mean that it's impossible for me to get into a residency? Hell no! And I'm saying that...

Hi all! I was wondering if anyone knows how interviews for schools will work this year? I've been searching for answers but haven't found anything too helpful...also, Berkeley is doing rolling admissions this year so I was wondering if anyone has heard about how they will be conducting...

I recently applied for the SUNY Upstate EAP program and have been looking around for any information about it. Seems like nobody really posts about this program. Anybody else applied? On that note, any past applicants know approximate stats and figures for the program and the...

I've submitted quite a few DO secondaries, but I'm taking the MCAT in July. Which schools, if any, will be interviewing before receiving MCAT scores?

Hi there, I am currently in limbo after submitting my applications and have been looking into interview attire. Many people say that women should not wear black suits are they are too harsh and formal, and they suggest colors such as navy or charcoal/gray. I was thinking about doing a navy suit...

Exams completed. ECFMG certified. No gaps in between and have remained consistent with work in the health field relative to gaining clinical experience. I have called numerous programs where the program directors/coordinators have straight said over the phone "I have not had a chance to check...

Hi everyone! Has anyone had their interview with KGI's School of Pharmacy? I have mine in a couple weeks and would like to know what questions to expect. Also, in the email it said the interviews would start at 9am and are expected to last until 3pm, and it doesn't seem like the campus tour is...

Hi SDN! I am using a throwaway to get some advice for an upcoming interview. I am a non-trad who had a significant upward trend during undergrad, but sadly I ended up with a 3.3 cGPA and 3.0 sGPA. However, I can very much speak to the challenges I faced (first-gen student, helping parents...

Interviewing at a school soon and have the option of getting a tie and/or pair of socks with the school’s colors and logo. I’m leaning towards socks, but would like to hear thoughts on tie. I would only wear one or the other. Any help is appreciated.

I have an upcoming interview with USC and heard from someone that I'll be asked a series of questions and that I'll have to "do diagrams". There was emphasis placed on the importance of these diagrams, but I am unclear on what they are/what they are in response to. Can anyone explain this part...

I was asked this question during a practice residency interview. I was wondering what you guys would do. Your resident colleague posts negative comments about your other coresidents and your attendings on Facebook. What do you do? What's your answer? Would you have informed the PD of this...

So, due to personal reasons outside of my control, I haven't showered or brushed my teeth or even groomed myself since last year... will this be an issue for interviews??

It's mid-December and I'm getting really worried. Here's the run down. GPA: 3.85; science GPA: ~3.80; MCAT: 510 (Chem/phys: 126, CARS: 128, Bio/Bio: 129, Psych: 127). I finished secondaries mid-September. I got a name change and became a US citizen some time over the summer and neither AMCAS...

So I'm interested in finding out what happens if I were to miss an interview invite that went into my spam folder. My spam folder permanently auto deletes after 30 days and I have not regularly checked it throughout the two application cycles I applied. So technically I have no way of finding...

Hello! I have an interview at Salus (11/4/19) and was wondering if anybody had any insight on their process/what kind of questions they asked! Any help would be amazing; I am super nervous! Thank you!!

Hi, so I am in a little bit of a tight situation and would like you guys' opinion. I just got my first interview and I am super excited! However, my interview is out of state in a smaller city on a Wednesday. I am right now a public school teacher in a low-income district, and there are...

I have an upcoming medical school interview. Does anyone want to do mock-interviews through Zoom (Skype)?

Hi guys! I've noticed that there is no official thread for Med-Peds Interviews 2019-2020. I will follow the same format as Med-Peds 2018-2019 Interview Thread . Copy the most recent post and add your name next to the schools where you got interview invites (or rejections). Write the date when...

Hello everyone, I decided to start a thread for the class of 2024 to share interviews and information regarding the program. I had my interview on Friday (10/04/2019), and I still haven't heard back and I am so nervous. Please share your experience if you heard back and when you interviewed etc...

“I am doomed… This is a disaster… I really never expected this… What am I going to do?” This from Daniel, a prospective PhD student. I couldn’t imagine what had happened to cause such a negative response, especially as Daniel is a very strong candidate with impeccable credentials. My shock was...

Has anyone here interviewed on 10/1 early decision? What did you think of it? I personally thought it wasn't too bad. It’s so nerve-wracking waiting for an email now though. Anyone that’s interviewed in the past, how long should I expect to wait?

I haven't seen a thread for HBCU MOT programs so I'm starting a thread. Feel free to share stats, interview dates, acceptance etc. Here are my stats: Undergraduate: Texas State University Major: Exercise Sports Science Overall GPA: 3.35 Graduating School GPA: 3.38 GRE Scores: 185 Overall (138...

Hi! I have an interview coming up this Friday and am trying to come up with some good questions to ask them. I have a few, but do you guys have any you think is important to ask? Also, is it inappropriate to ask about potential financial aid or scholarship opportunities available? I do want to...

Hi everyone, I was searching for interview threads and I was thinking that threads like "Class of 2024" are really helpful. You just can go there and find much information from different students, and also share your information with others, therefore enriching the body of the thread more and...
